ManorCon Results 2004

Individual Diplomacy Results

Following the smaller than usual Diplomacy Tournament last year, this year saw WorldDipCon, and a return to a size not seen since the early 1990s. After three rounds, and a total of 37 boards, Yann Clouet came out as a worthy winner, and by a considerable margin.

Thank you to everybody who played, especially those who travelled from overseas to make it a WorldDipCon to remember.

So, the final results were :
